Thanks Detlef, Moshah and Kai,
For this time being, I still keep it like it is. With the hilt firmly fixed. IMHO, it is not ivory but "duyung" or dugong hilt. You may look at the different brownish and yellowish colour of it. Images below, are different views of this hilt. The size, it seems bigger than usual...
I will try the last step to open the hilt. Then, what would you suggest the way to clean the blade without unfixing the hilt, please?
